putting MACs on the domain mapping a drive

[chazzy2501]

I've added some macs to the domain and it lets pupils log in, now how do I map a drive for every AD user who uses the mac?

 

The user can manually browse to the directory and use it just fine and I don't need the my docs redirect. (which it tries and fails but I don't need it)

 

No mac server...Hope I don't need one.

 

3 yo macs I don't know which version of osx but we can't upgrade because of CS5.5 compatibility issues with the newer versions of osx.

Are you sure you can't upgrade? We run CS5.5 on Yosemite fine (as far as I'm aware, unless there's some bugs that appear).

 

Mounting a network drive was one of our motivations for buying a Mac server years back. Mounting the user's home directory is automatic, but if you want another network share it's trickier without - I imagine there are scripts you can use, or other MDMs that'll do it other than Profile Manager.

Are you mapping the AD Home Drive or just another windows Share? If mapping an AD drive the script I created here works great and this is what we are now using at the college http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mac/158150-os-x-mount-active-directory-home-drive-automatically-working-solution-os-x-10-10-a.html
